and looklag forward to pence and

Sometimes, whllo engaged In n
"cootie" hunt, yon think. Strange to
say, but It Is n fact, while Tommy Is
searching his shirt serious thoughts
come to him. Many a time, when per
forming this oporntlon, I have tried
to figure out tho outcome of the war
and what will happen to mo.
My thoughts generally ran In this
channel :
Will I erncrgo snfely from tho next
nttnck? If I do will I skin through tho
following one, and so on? While your
rnlnd Is wandering Into the future It
Is likely to be rudely brought to nnrth
by a Tommy Interrupting wllh, "What's
good for rheumatism?"
Then you linvo something elso to
think of. Will you rorno out of this
war 'crippled And tied Into knots with
rheumatism, caused by tho wet nnd
mud nf trenches and dugouts? You
give It up an n bad Job nnd generally
saunter over to tho nearest cotamlnet
to drown your moody forebodings in a
glass of sickening French beer or to
try your luck at the always present
game of "house." You can hear the
sing-song voice of a Tommy droning
out tho numbers ns hecxtrncts the
little squares of cardboard from the
bag between his feet.
